Summary

process_queue_batch() still assumed a pull of queue items belonged to a single provider, which stopped being true once a vectorizer could name its own (#74). Two failures follow from that one assumption, and they share enough machinery to be worth fixing together rather than twice.

A rate limit stopped everything. The cooldown was a single deadline checked before the pull, so a hosted provider on a free tier held up a local model with no quota at all, and the 429 handler breaks out of the request loop so nothing else in that pull was attempted either.

  • Cooldowns are kept per provider, keyed on the name.
  • The claim excludes providers that are cooling. This has to be in SQL rather than a filter after the fetch: the pull takes the oldest batch_size rows, so a cooling provider with a backlog at the head of the queue would otherwise fill every batch and starve everyone behind it — the same fault, one step further along.
  • The batch is already sorted by (provider, model), so a provider's items are contiguous; the 429 handler steps over exactly the run it deferred and lets the rest of the pull proceed.

An unresolvable provider stopped everything. Resolution raised, which aborted the transaction and returned the whole pull to pending including work whose provider was fine; the next pull failed in the same place, so nothing drained and nothing failed. The group is now put back and skipped, uncharged, and the loop carries on.

That removes the exception the batch backoff depended on, so process_queue_batch() returns whether it attempted anything and the caller grows the wait when a pull found work and could attempt none of it. Without that, a database whose only provider is mistyped would poll flat out.

About the change to 005_batch_failure_backoff.pl

Worth reading rather than skimming, since that test is the constraint this design was built around.

Five of its assertions passed untouched, because the backoff wording is unchanged. The two that failed were both counting "error in processing, continuing" — the exception handler's line. They asserted the mechanism, and the mechanism is exactly what the issue asked to change: the whole point is that this fault stops raising. They now count the new line, and the file's header no longer claims the fault raises.

I also added a ninth assertion for the property the test only implied in a comment: that no item is ever charged for a provider being misconfigured. That is the thing that must not regress, so it is now checked rather than assumed.

I did try CodeRabbit's earlier suggestion of charging those items (on #77); it failed 7 of 005's 8 assertions, which is why this takes the longer route instead.

Found rather than reported

set_embedding_model() counted rows where it meant embedded rows, so a vectorizer whose provider was mistyped — and which had therefore never embedded anything — could not be corrected: the function refused, claiming its chunks were "embedded with" a model that had never run. The refusal exists because vectors from two models are not comparable, and a chunk with no vector has nothing to be incomparable with. The new test in 015 is what walked into it.

Test plan

  • 014_provider_rate_limit_isolation.pl: two vectorizers on different providers sharing one fake socket that refuses one model with a 300 second Retry-After. The healthy one must drain within half a 20 second poll interval, so a pass means the same pull that met the 429 carried on to it. Verified to fail with the break restored, and verified that an earlier version of this test passed with it, which is why the poll interval and the ordering are the way they are.
  • 015_provider_unavailable_isolation.pl: one vectorizer naming a provider that does not exist, one healthy. Same-pull assertion, plus that the bad one's items stay pending with attempts at zero, that the log names the provider and the table, and that correcting the provider is on its own enough to drain the queue.
  • 005_batch_failure_backoff.pl passing, 9 assertions, including the new one.
  • Full suite on PostgreSQL 18.4: 23 pg_regress tests, 98 TAP tests across 15 files.

Note on the base branch

Stacked on #77, because both it and #74 rewrote large parts of src/worker.c. The diff carries those and #72's until they land. It targets main because CI only runs on PRs based on main, master or develop.

Closes #76

dpage added 10 commits September 9, 2026 12:28
The chunking code in C has always sized chunks with a four-characters-per-token
estimate that rounds up, whilst the three plpgsql paths that actually write the
token_count column open-coded the same estimate as length(chunk_text) / 4, which
truncates. The two therefore disagreed by a token on most chunks, and on
anything shorter than four characters the plpgsql paths stored a zero that the
BM25 scoring path in worker.c then had to clamp back up to one. Since
token_count feeds the BM25 document-length normalisation, by way of
AVG(token_count) in bm25.c and the per-chunk value in worker.c, hybrid search
scored chunks written by the trigger slightly differently from chunks written by
the C chunker.

Expose the existing C counter as pgedge_vectorizer.count_tokens(text) and call
it from enable_vectorization(), vectorization_trigger() and recreate_chunks(),
so that there is one definition of the rule rather than two. It is declared
STABLE rather than IMMUTABLE deliberately: the estimate is defined in terms of
pgedge_vectorizer.model, which does not matter whilst the counter ignores the
model, but would quietly invalidate an expression index or a cached plan the
moment it stops doing so.

Existing chunk tables are left alone. The stored values are an approximation
either way, and rewriting every chunk table to correct a single token is not a
trade worth making on upgrade.

This is the first change for 1.2, so the extension version moves on and
sql/pgedge_vectorizer--1.1--1.2.sql carries the upgrade; the 1.1 scripts are
untouched.
The four provider implementations read pgedge_vectorizer.model straight from
the GUC, and the provider interface had nowhere to put a model, so nothing
could ask for an embedding from anything other than whatever the database was
globally configured to use. That is the obstacle to a per-vectorizer model, and
it is removed here rather than worked around by setting the GUC around each
request: a provider that silently depends on ambient global state cannot be
asked to embed with anything else, and mutating that state inside the worker's
batch loop would have made the error paths considerably harder to reason about.

generate() and generate_batch() therefore take the model explicitly, and the
providers use the argument. Every existing call site passes the GUC, so
behaviour is unchanged.

generate_embedding() and detect_embedding_dimension() gain optional provider
and model arguments on the same rule that will apply to the registry: NULL
means fall back to the GUC. Neither is STRICT any more, since a STRICT function
would return NULL before that argument could reach the C. The dimension probe
needs this in particular, because a vectorizer created with an override needs
the dimension of the model it names, not of whatever the GUCs happen to say.
pgedge_vectorizer.vectorizers gains nullable provider and model columns, and
enable_vectorization() gains matching parameters in ninth and tenth position so
that existing positional calls are untouched. NULL means inherit the GUC at the
time the work runs rather than a copy taken at creation, so an installation
that never sets either behaves exactly as it did.

Where the dimension is not given, the probe now asks about the model this
vectorizer will actually use rather than the one the GUCs name, which would
otherwise size the vector column against the wrong model whenever an override
was passed.

Nothing reads the columns yet; the worker does that in the next commit.
The model was one GUC applied to every table in the database, which is the
wrong granularity: a table of short product titles and a table of long
technical documents are rarely well served by the same model, and there was no
way to embed one table locally through Ollama whilst another went to a hosted
provider.

A vectorizer now records its own provider and model, both nullable, NULL
meaning inherit. Inheritance resolves when the work runs rather than being
copied at creation, so an installation that sets neither carries on exactly as
before. They can be pinned at enable_vectorization() or changed afterwards with
the new set_embedding_model().

The worker resolves inheritance in the query that fetches a batch, with a left
join against the registry and COALESCE against the GUCs, so the rule lives in
one place and an item whose vectorizer has since been disabled falls back
through the same expression rather than needing a special case. A batch is
selected by age across every vectorizer at once, so it can hold items for
several models, and a request carries one; the batch is therefore grouped by
(provider, model) before the existing loop runs and batch_extent() breaks on
the same key. Sorting rather than merely breaking the run matters, because two
tables' items alternating in time would otherwise give requests of one item
each. The provider is resolved per request instead of once per batch.

set_embedding_model() refuses to change a vectorizer that already has
embeddings unless force_reembed is passed. The refusal keys on the model
changing rather than the dimension changing, which is the case worth guarding:
a dimension change is caught before any write by the existing check in the
worker, whilst a change between two models of the same width, say
text-embedding-3-small and text-embedding-ada-002 at 1536 each, would leave the
old vectors in place, correctly shaped and meaningless beside the new ones,
with nothing reporting a problem. With force_reembed the embeddings are cleared,
the column rewidened if needed, the queue cleared and every chunk requeued, all
in one transaction. Chunk rows, token counts, sparse embeddings and the BM25
statistics are untouched, since none of them depends on the embedding model.

Three things fell out along the way.

generate_embedding() and detect_embedding_dimension() take an optional provider
and model, and can no longer be STRICT, because NULL has to reach the function
to mean "use the GUC". That makes generate_embedding(NULL) raise rather than
return NULL, which is what the function always meant to do and said so in its
own code, unreachably.

The array of chunk tables that disable_vectorization() drops was collected with
no ORDER BY, so the notices came out in whatever order the scan returned, and
adding registry columns changed it. It is ordered now.

Adding defaulted parameters to enable_vectorization() with CREATE OR REPLACE
defined a second function rather than replacing the old one, leaving two
overloads on any upgraded installation, an eight-argument call reaching a body
that knew nothing of the new columns, and COMMENT ON FUNCTION failing as
ambiguous, whilst a fresh install was perfect throughout. pg_regress installs
whatever default_version says, so it can never see this; 012_upgrade_1_1_to_1_2
builds a 1.1 installation, upgrades it, and compares its functions, columns and
views against a fresh 1.2, which is the shape of check that catches the whole
class rather than this one instance.

Closes #27
test/expected/ carries numbered variants of embedding.out for the cases where
provider API keys are actually available, and pg_regress passes if the output
matches any of them. Only the default one was updated for the new
generate_embedding() signature and for NULL input now raising, so every
platform without keys was happy and the macOS runner, which has them, failed
against embedding_4.out.

The two changed lines are common to all five, so all five now carry them.
Widening where the model comes from, from one GUC to a registry column and a
SQL argument, broke assumptions in several places that were safe whilst it was
a single trusted setting.

The model was interpolated raw into every provider's request body, and into
Gemini's URL path. Escaped now in all four, once in the shared OpenAI-format
builder that OpenAI and Voyage use and once each in Ollama and Gemini, with a
percent-encoding helper for the URL segment, where a '/' or '?' would have sent
the request to a different endpoint.

A rate limit deferred every remaining item in the pull and charged each one a
deferral, which was right whilst a pull could only carry one provider's work.
Now that a batch can span providers, that spent deferrals belonging to a
provider that had not refused anything and, once they ran out, failed its items
outright. Only the refused provider's items are deferred; the rest go back to
pending uncharged for the next pull.

set_embedding_model() computed the new dimension and altered the column only
when the vectorizer had chunks, so an empty one kept the width it was created
with and failed every embedding written after the change, which is precisely
the failure the function exists to prevent. The dimension is resolved and the
column altered whichever it is, whilst clearing embeddings and requeuing stay
conditional. That does mean a call without an explicit dimension always probes
the provider, as enable_vectorization() does, which the reference now states.

The requeue omitted max_attempts, taking the column default of 3 rather than
pgedge_vectorizer.max_retries as every other queue insert does.

The worker's inheritance expression handled NULL but not an empty string,
which resolve_provider() and resolve_model() in embed.c both treat as inherit;
NULLIF puts them on the same footing.

Two documentation corrections. The data-management guidance still told users to
drop the chunk table and enable vectorization again after a dimension change,
which throws away chunks, sparse embeddings and BM25 statistics that were never
wrong. And the configuration example passed NULL as the model without saying
that the provider defaults to NULL too, so it reverts alongside unless named
again.

Raised by CodeRabbit on #74.
The call restoring ptm_named's model left provider at NULL, so the reset case
that follows started from a vectorizer with nothing pinned and could not show
that the provider clears alongside the model. Pinning both first makes the
assertion mean something. The provider named matches the GUC, so the effective
values still do not move and the case remains the no-op it is there to cover.

Raised by CodeRabbit on #74.
A vectorizer whose provider and model are NULL inherits the GUCs, and
inheritance resolves when the work runs rather than being copied at creation.
Changing pgedge_vectorizer.model therefore re-points every inheriting
vectorizer at once, leaving a chunk table holding vectors from the old model
beside new ones from the new. Similarity between two models' vectors is noise,
so those rows become effectively invisible to search rather than merely stale,
and where the widths match, as they do between text-embedding-3-small and
text-embedding-ada-002, the dimension check in the worker cannot see it either.

set_embedding_model() guards the per-vectorizer path and cannot guard this one:
the extension does not own that setting and cannot intercept every way it
changes. Rather than pretending otherwise, each chunk now records the provider
and model that produced its vector, written by update_embedding() in the same
statement as the embedding so the two cannot disagree, and
embedding_model_status() reports where that differs from what the vectorizer
would use now. That diagnoses instead of preventing, but it catches drift
whatever its cause, including a setting changed months ago.

Reporting alone would leave a number and nothing to do about it, and the
obvious remedy does not work: set_embedding_model(force_reembed => true) takes
its no-op branch here, because an inheriting vectorizer's effective model
already is the new one. reembed() therefore clears and requeues every chunk not
known to have come from the effective provider and model. Rows with nothing
recorded are counted apart in the report, since they predate the columns and
may well be current, but reembed() treats them as needing redoing, a row that
cannot be shown to be current being one to do again; on a freshly upgraded
installation that is every row, which the documentation says plainly. A change
of embedding width takes every chunk with it, drifted or not, because a column
cannot hold two widths.

Two things found on the way.

The columns had to be added to chunk tables by the upgrade script itself.
enable_vectorization() adds them to a chunk table it finds without them, but
nothing re-runs it on upgrade, and the worker writes both columns in the same
statement as the embedding, so an existing installation would have failed every
embedding write until someone happened to re-enable a vectorizer. 012 now
compares an upgraded chunk table's columns against a freshly created one, which
is the check that would have caught it.

update_embedding() interpolated the chunk table's name into its UPDATE without
quoting, so it would have failed for a schema-qualified source, where the
generated name is one identifier with a dot in it rather than a qualified
reference. Fixed in passing, since it is the statement being changed.

Closes #75
hybrid_search() embedded the query with the GUCs, which was right whilst that
was the only place a model could come from. Since a vectorizer can pin its own,
a query embedded by one model was being compared against chunks embedded by
another: meaningless distances where the widths match, and an outright error
where they do not, which is the failure this whole line of work exists to
prevent, arriving through the search path instead. It now looks the provider
and model up alongside the chunk table and passes them through, NULL and all,
so a vectorizer that has pinned nothing behaves as before. The 1.1 script never
redefined the function, so the upgrade carries a full replacement.

The worker's join to the registry could match a queue row twice, because only
(source_table, source_column) is unique and two vectorizers can be pointed at
one chunk table with an explicit chunk_table_name. The item would then be
embedded twice and counted twice into the BM25 corpus statistics. A LATERAL
with LIMIT 1 makes the join return one row whatever the registry holds; a
unique constraint on chunk_table would be the stronger fix but needs a story
for installations that already have duplicates, which is separate work.

set_embedding_model() compared raw stored values where the worker,
embedding_model_status() and reembed() all treat an empty string as inherit,
so an empty override would have been seen as a change by one of the four and
not by the other three, and would have reached the dimension probe as a model
name of ''. NULLIF everywhere, and the probe now asks about the effective
values.

resolve_model() returned an unset model GUC unvalidated, where resolve_provider()
already refuses one. The providers interpolate it straight into their request
bodies, so an empty setting put "model":"" on the wire and a NULL one would have
been dereferenced whilst escaping it.

One finding declined. CodeRabbit proposed charging a provider that cannot be
resolved to the items of its request, so that the rest of the pull proceeds.
The observation behind it is right, and is now issue #78: since a vectorizer can
name its own provider, one bad name stops every other vectorizer in the
database. The prescription is not, because 005_batch_failure_backoff.pl exists
to prevent exactly that and injects exactly this fault: charging a blameless
item for a misconfigured provider works through the queue retiring one innocent
row per max_attempts cycles, so a single mistyped provider name would mark the
whole queue failed. Fixing it properly means skipping the group without
charging it whilst still reaching the batch backoff, which needs a way to report
a batch-level fault without an exception. That is more than this change should
carry.

Raised by CodeRabbit on #77.
process_queue_batch() still assumed a pull of queue items belonged to a single
provider, which stopped being true when a vectorizer could name its own. Two
failures followed from that one assumption, and they share enough machinery to
be worth fixing together.

A rate limit stopped everything. The cooldown was a single deadline checked
before the pull, so a hosted provider on a free tier held up a local model with
no quota at all, and the 429 handler broke out of the request loop so nothing
else in that pull was attempted either. Cooldowns are now kept per provider and
the claim excludes the ones cooling, which has to happen in SQL rather than
after the fetch: the pull takes the oldest batch_size rows, so a cooling
provider with a backlog at the head of the queue would otherwise fill every
batch and starve everyone behind it, which is the same fault one step further
along. Because the batch is sorted by (provider, model) a provider's items are
contiguous, so the 429 handler steps over exactly the run it deferred and lets
the rest of the pull proceed.

An unresolvable provider stopped everything too. Resolution raised, which
aborted the transaction and returned the whole pull to pending including work
whose provider was fine, and the next pull failed in the same place. The group
is now put back and skipped, uncharged, and the loop carries on.

That removes the exception the batch backoff depended on, so
process_queue_batch() reports whether it attempted anything and the caller grows
the wait when a pull found work and could attempt none of it. Without that a
database whose only provider is mistyped would poll flat out, which is precisely
what 005_batch_failure_backoff.pl exists to prevent.

005 needed two of its nine assertions rewritten, and this is worth being plain
about. Five passed untouched because the backoff wording is unchanged, and the
two that failed were both counting "error in processing, continuing", which is
the exception handler's line: they asserted the mechanism rather than the
behaviour, and the mechanism is what the issue asked to change. They now count
the new line, the file's header no longer claims the fault raises, and a ninth
assertion was added for the property the test only implied, that no item is ever
charged for a provider being misconfigured. That property is the constraint this
whole design was built around, so it is now checked rather than assumed.

One thing found by the new tests rather than reported. set_embedding_model()
counted rows where it meant embedded rows, so a vectorizer whose provider was
mistyped, and which had therefore never embedded anything, could not be
corrected: the function refused, claiming its chunks were "embedded with" a
model that had never run. The refusal exists because vectors from two models are
not comparable, and a chunk with no vector has nothing to be incomparable with.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The extension advances from version 1.1 to 1.2. It adds per-vectorizer provider and model settings, embedding provenance, token counting, model-status and re-embedding APIs, and provider-aware hybrid search. Workers now group queue items by provider and model, isolate cooldowns, and leave unavailable-provider items pending without charging attempts. Documentation and regression tests cover upgrades, model drift, token counts, model changes, and provider isolation.

Fixed issue severity: Medium

Priority: ➖ Normal

Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to bbefd

Queue processing now isolates provider failures and cooldowns so healthy providers can continue processing while unavailable-provider work remains pending and uncharged. No concrete current-head merge-blocking risk remains.

Explanation

The diff includes substantial unrelated or prerequisite work, including the full 1.2 SQL implementation, provider/model APIs, token counting, upgrade scripts, extensive documentation, and model-management tests. These changes exceed the provider-isolation objectives in issue [#76], even though the description identifies them as stacked changes.

Resolution

Rebase onto the intended prerequisite changes or split the cumulative work into separate pull requests. Keep this pull request limited to worker provider isolation, the set_embedding_model correction, and their required tests. If the stacked diff must remain, document the dependency and confirm that the extra changes are not being reviewed or merged as part of this issue.

Two of these are mine and would have bitten.

A pull made entirely of sparse-only items reported that it attempted nothing,
because `attempted` was set only on the path that reaches a provider, and the
sparse-only branch needs none. The caller would then have grown the backoff to
its five minute cap and logged that there was no usable provider, whilst every
item in the pull was in fact scored and completed. That branch exists for chunks
that already have their dense embedding, so it is not an unusual path.

The cooling-provider filter was built before the transaction started, in a
context the worker keeps for the life of the process, so every poll left a
little behind for ever. Moved inside, where the transaction reclaims it.

The rest are documentation and test hygiene. The reference gave
embedding_model_status() parameter names that do not exist, so a named-argument
call copied from the page would have failed; they carry a p_ prefix because the
function returns columns of the same names. The configuration page stated the
force_reembed rule twice, the second time without the qualifier that makes it
true, so it read as an unconditional refusal whenever embeddings exist. And the
troubleshooting query filtered on provider IS NOT NULL, which returns nothing in
precisely the case that section is about: a mistyped pgedge_vectorizer.provider
leaves every override NULL. It shows the effective provider now.

011, 013 and 014 gained the END block that 015 already had, after a failing
assertion in 015 left its fake provider holding the pipe and hung prove rather
than reporting the failure.
